Things To Do
Greer's Pier Marina
We think the best way to travel and explore the Northwoods is by boat! Whether you want to rent a fishing boat to catch some walleye or a pontoon for a sunset cruise, there are plenty of rental options to fit your needs. Greer's Pier is just one of the many places where you can find a boat to rent.
River’s Edge Adventure Company
There are miles of beautiful bike trails winding through the Northwoods, making biking a great way to explore. Whether you rent a bike or bring your own, it's a fun option for getting around. If you prefer to be on the water without a boat, you can rent canoes, kayaks, or even tubes to float down the Manitowish River. Adventure Company is one of the many places offering these rentals.
